Table 3. Number of deaths and death rates, by
age, race, and sex: United States, 2005

[Rates per 100,000 population
in specified group. Populations used for computing death rates are
postcensal estimates based on the 2000 census, estimated as of July 1,
2005; see "Technical Notes." Data for specified races other than white
and black should be interpreted with caution because of inconsistencies
between reporting race on death certificates and on censuses and
surveys; see "Technical Notes"]

1Race categories are consistent with the 1977
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) standards. In 2005, multiple-race
data were reported by 21 states and the District of Columbia; see
"Technical Notes." The multiple-race data for these reporting areas
were bridged to the single-race categories of the 1977 OMB standards
for comparability with other reporting areas; see "Technical Notes."
